Good stuff, seems like we had a big discussion about this in the past.

Nooooo!  DO NOT adulterate my bacon with ANYTHING!!!  all the sweet stuff belongs on the waffles!  (Hail Krasnovia!)

Everything but the syrup. I just cover one side and don't flip it. Turns out great.

you put maple syrup on bacon in front of me and you will get a brain injury

I'll give it a try, minus the syrup.  I have ten or so pounds of bacon I need to use.

I cure and cold smoke it myself.  I think the last batch came out to around four bucks per pound.
